TIE REAL ESTATE " BOOM"
Demand for Good Property-Re Es-
tate brokerage.

tate brokerage.
The unprecedented demand for real es-
tate In the District OF Columbia has at
tracted considerable attention, not only
here, but throughout the country. Capital
lsts-shrewd, far-seelng capitalis,s-are be-
coming deeply interested, and the prospect
Is that the coming fall and winter will wit
ness operations In real estate far exceeding
In number and importance any that have
been known before There is, too, healthi-
ness In the movement that augurs well for
Its permanency. There Is nothing "wild-
cat' about 1t, nor is 1t likely to be ephemeral,
inasmuch as Washington property must al
ways be valuable-incrcasingly valuable
because here is the permanent seat OF the
United States Government.
The only question In the minds OF those
who have watched carefully the condition
OF affairs and the prospects Of the future
seems to be which OF all the suburban prop
erty now or soon to be placed on the mar
ket will insure the largest possible returns.
OF course, the judgment In this particular
Of men who have given the subject the
most and the best thought is valuable; II is
more than valuable, It is Indispensable. And
those investors who desire the best returns
are those who consult the best authorities
on this subject and act upon the advice OF
those who know what they talk about. OF
course, at such times, very much property
is placed on the market which is worth
comparatively little, and liable to deceive
strangers who may be willing to give
credence to rose-colored stories concerning
the desirability OF estates that may be Of
fered for sale. There are many real estate
brokers In this city whose years OF residence
and research have taught them the present
aEd prospective value OF all the property OF
the District. These are the men who should
be consulted.

The Concentration of wealth.

Mr.. Charles L. Coon, late Assistant Sec
retary OF the Treasury, speaking to New
York Graphic reporter yesterday, said;
"When was with the Secretary of the
Treasury the Department used to send out
interest checks to about $4,000 holders OF
registered -four per cent. bonds, and now
gee that at the close OF the last fiscal year
the number had declined to less than As 900,
and when Secretary Fsirchild anticipated
the payment OF interest on these same bonds
few days since interest checks had to be
sent only to few more than 3S, 900 people.
Now do you know what these facts ind Heater
Why, nothing is more convincing proof OF
the tendency Of wealth to concentrate than
this transfer Of Government securities. And
there is another noticeable fact In conuec-
tion with these changes, and that is, there
is a geographical change, the amounts OF
bonds held in the money centres Of the
country is rapidly increasing, and OF course
the rural holdings decrease In proportion

THE LOCK or HAIR,

Within my lonely chamber
sit at daylight's close,
Beneath the stream of radiance
The shaded gaslight throws,
A heap Of half worn letters
Upon the table spread ..I.
Less tokens they than ietters
To bind me TO the dead.
And onr by one burn them,
For they revive again
The thoughts OF early manhood
Al threescure years and ten
Burnt offerings to oblivion
! make without tear;
In flame and smoke they vanish
But stay What have We here
An ebon Casket oidcn;

To find wHvy rlugiGt
OF soft aud sllyory hair.

This ,ilkcu lock was hers:
And in IT. deepS my suirit

That gave iny heart such 10y,
when that dear hair was auburn
And wus nut n boy;
feel the yeOrnlng tender
That followed me for years,
Tie Blessing when "" parted
She gave me thr ugh her tears.
Tie fond beliefs Of childhood,
The earpest faith In dreams,
Tie nymphs that haunt the Wildwood
Tie mixes OF the streams,
The fairies Of the meadows,
The witches lean and gray
Mere unsubstantlal shadows
All these may pass away,
But though the basClcss funcies
OF carly days depart,
And with them the rOmances
That thrilled the childish heart;
Though time, with iron fingers,
All else may Check or chill,
One master feeling fingers

Nor age nor death can smother
That purest love and best
The true man bears the mother
Who nursed him at her breast.

"lT is thoroughly bad precedent"
says Congressman Butterworth. "to
have It intimated that the President,
after having accepted an invitation to
go anywhere in this Republic, should
refuse for the reason tina, he appre.
hends that he will be subjected to
violence or insult" But isn't It in.
finitely worse that the President should
have had any reason to apprehend
"violence or INSULT" Which Is the
more deplorable of these precedents =?
Mr.. Cleveland was told In plain terms
that if he went to st. Louis he would
be subjected to dlscourtesies of an in.
solent character. He was told so by
prominent members of the Grand
Army. The talk may have been mere
badinage or bluff, but 1t sounded very
much in earnest, and the Grand Army
never discountenanced 1t or repudiated
1t. 1t would have been In the line of
good and loyal citizenship for the or
ganization to have done so, but no
such action was taken. Silence gave
assent to the intended threat. So Mr..
Cleveland took the veterans at their
word, as he was justified In doing, and
theirs alone is the responsibility for the

VIRGINIA AND THE EXPOSITION.
When 1t was decided, year ago, TO
create q National Board of Promotion

When It was decided, year ago, TO
create National Board of Promotion
by the appointment of governors,
mayors, presidents and secretaries Of
boards Of trade and others as members
eX oilicio, Governor Fitzhugh Lee Of
Virginia was the first to accept. In his
letter of acceptance lie wrote: BE.
licving that the project will be of great
practical Importance and value to my
State, l will be glad to do my part
toward making said Exposition u sue
cess"
Ths recent action OF the Richmond
Chamber of Commerce, reported In
another column, recoghizes this "prac.
tical importance, aud indicit ties that
the Old Dominion will play promi-
nent part in both the Centennial OF
1889 and the Exposition of 1892.
The local benefits accrulng to the
State must necessarily be very great.
At least 90 per cent of all visitors
from abroad will make a pilgrimage to
Il c tomb of Washington at Mt. Yer.
non. If the proposed plan Of partlci.
patton by the nations of Europe in the
ceremonies of 1882 is carried out, viz,
the sending of colossal fleet over the
original course of Columbus, the fleet
will doubtless be anchored at Hampton
roads during part Of the six months Of
the Exposition, and be a source of at.
traction which will draw very many
thousands of visitors.
The Exposition project will also be
bonanza to the many attractive sum
mer resorts Of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia during Its existence, and stimu.
late q continual round of excursion
and travel between those places and
Washington.
OF equal Importance Is the trade
demand which will be stimulated by
the presence here of the fifteen Spanish
American Republics and Brazil. They
need our railway iron and supplies
farming implements, cotton goods
flour and thousand other articles
Washington, which is not n manufac'
turing city, cannot supply this demand
But Richmond, the State OF Virginit
and the New South, with their mar
yelous progress in new enterprises ant
manufactures, can easily reap q har
vest from this movement.
We congratulate Virginia on its en-
terprise and public spirit in taking
early and active steps in support o.
this great work, which will rebound 81
greatly to Its benefit.
